26 Smith Street, Glen Forrest WA 6071

Open for buyer appointments.

She might have a few years on her, this 1930s dame, but she's proof they just don't make 'em like they used to. For 70 years this Hills cottage peach has been owned by one family. She's still solid as a rock, and just yearning to be lovingly made over into the cosy, classic beauty she knows she could be. Take inspiration from the original country-style kitchen when making your grand plans, keep the gorgeous Jarrah Dado walls and refresh the paintwork above, and make the original fireplace in the main bedroom the star of the reno show.

Just imagine what you can do with this amazing enclosed verandah at the front! Those Jarrah floorboards would polish up like a dream and the louvres are original too, perfect for letting in the evening Summer breeze while you sit in a comfy wicker chair and test out your new favourite '30s cocktail. After all, you've got to cheers to the old days! In keeping with how it 'should' be done, the cottage sits on a proper half acre block, fully fenced so small visitors can play safely and home to some of the most established trees on the block.

Park the car semi-permanently in the double carport because everything you need is now 'just a quick stroll' away. Great schools, the sporting club, cafes, and the local boutique stores can all be accessed via footpaths. And you're just a couple of blocks from the Heritage Trail running through Train Park, where you can stop for a muffin and coffee at Glen Forrest Gourmet when you've had enough of walking - pups are welcome here too. And then head back to the sanctuary of your own slice of Hills history, where the quiet loop road barely sees a car that's not local and you know you're settling in for another evening of serenity.

Revive an old classic.
